Emphasis on the “crappy,” MH. I love living here, and don’t deny that the frequent little ponds, reservoirs, and small little lakes is a point in its favor. (It’s better than Mississippi, for example.) But when all these oversized ponds are compared to someplace with at least moderately clear-and-cold-and-not-infested-with-zebra-mussels lakes, however few or distant, I’m filled with envy.
